Darren McGrady has revealed the VERY common foods the monarch shuns
PREPARING a meal for the Queen must be nerve-wracking enough but there are also three VERY common ingredients you should avoid if she ever pops round for dinner.
Her Majesty avoids pasta, potatoes or garlic at dinner unless she is at a state banquet.

According to former Royal chef Darren McGrady, she is has a strict no starch rule when dining at home.
Instead the monarchs meals are healthy, low-carb affairs, usually grilled fish of chicken with two different vegetables or a big bowl of salad.
She also adores fresh fruit, especially home grown peaches, and the healthy diet could explain how she is so hale and hearty at the age of 90.
The Queen also avoids garlic and her chefs are told to keep it from her food probably wise when you spend your days meeting and greeting strangers.
Darren said: We can never serve anything with garlic or too much onions.
We also couldnt serve meat that was rare, as she liked her meat more well done.
Despite her healthy diet she does indulge in the occasional treat and loves a chocolate biscuit cake baked by her chefs.
She even takes it with her on her travels.

Darren, who cooked for the Queen for 15 years, revealed: The Chocolate Biscuit Cake is the only cake that goes back again and again and again everyday until its all gone.
Shell take a small slice every day until eventually there is only one tiny piece, but you have to send that up, she wants to finish the whole of that cake.
We recently revealed the hilarious names the Queens grandchildren use to address her and the secret signal she uses when she wants to leave a function.
